The Widest Road
The widest road in the world is found in the province of Ontario Canada. Highway 401 stretches 508.2 miles from Windsor to the Quebec border. At its widest point, it has 18 lanes in the mainline and 4 lanes of connecting ramps, making a total of 22 lanes. The segment of highway through Toronto is not only the busiest highway in North America (500,000 vehicles on most days), but the widest in the world. I have personally driven this road countless times.
However, there is an even wider road, so wide that the majority of the world’s population (estimated at over 7.5 billion), travel on this road every day. Of this road the Lord said, “Broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat” (Matthew 7:13). Thankfully, we can get off this road on to another road of which the Lord said, “Narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14).
Which road are you on? Are you on the road that leads to hell, or the road that leads to heaven? There are only 2 ways and you are travelling on one or the other. If you are still on the broad road, switch today by receiving Christ as your Savior. He has said, “I am the Way” (John 14:6).
